Transparency of a Face Following Drilling (Solidworks 2016 SP5)

3D Design Volume Model
1

I have to modify a part that I got in the form of a .step (it was created on topsolid and I don't know the software to make modifications directly on the original part).

On the other hand, I have a problem (display?), after making a drill, the face becomes transparent (see attached file with the state before the function and then after). Have you ever had the problem? Do you know where it can come from?

I've already tried to change my function but there's nothing I can do about it...

Thank you.

Hello

To make your hole if you go through an extrusion it could solve your problem.

Hello

The step you imported may be unstable, that is to say that it must have defective surfaces.

To see if this is the case, right-click on your import and select "import diagnostics" if there are defective faces, click on try to repair everything.

If you're lucky a green banner appears, you can work on the problem.

Your functions will pass sense make disappear from the front.

Keep us informed, if this solves your problem.

Are you in areal energy?

You can see on the slides that it's a closed solid.

h.gagea > The problem is that my former colleague, who took me the step (before retiring), deleted the file when I saved the part in solidworks format... And with the functions I put in, I no longer have access to import diagnostics.

 

gt22 > No, I'm in volume. So I'm going to lose all the work I've already done on the part?

It is possible that you will attach the native file to us, so that we can browse your tree and find the problem ? 

Otherwise make a copy of your file, delete all your functions and the diagnostic function will be accessible again.

your hole doesn't pass on an axis of symmetry by hassard?

Hello

Here is what AC.COBRA gave me as an answer to one of my questions, it can help.

h.gagea> Unfortunately, I can't attach the file (it's a confidential product).

On the other hand, I did as you said by making a copy. And after the import diagnosis, I have the same face that becomes transparent... I have the impression that it comes from the Ø2mm holes that are too close to the wall and therefore it creates a conflict for Solidworks (which should not have on topsolid).

 

gt22 > No, this is not an axis of symmetry.

 

a.leblanc> I'll try and I'll keep you posted.

Well then, it's weird, but it works.

You can save a copy of your part without the features (or delete them), then run the  FeatureWorks and view the parts next to each other and drag the features you made into the copy part window.

14

Unfortunately, you will have to reconstrain all your sketches anyway.

15

Otherwise, it's not great but you can always save it as a step and run the FeatureWorks afterwards.

At any rate, wouldn't a little Ctrl +Q do the trick?

And also check that the perspective view is not activated.

a.leblanc> I can't do function recognition, it gives me the following error message: "Entering body is invalid. Please check the part using the SolidWorks Verify Entity command."

gt22 > In my first post, I attached the screens of my problem in the zipped file.

For the drilling, nothing better, I tried to add material to another part of the part (but still at this surface) and it becomes transparent again, after removing the drilling.

When you made the diagnosis, did you have any defective faces?

Are you sure you only have volume?
